Preschool Fall Worksheets: Literacy, Math & Fine Motor

These preschool fall worksheets bring apples, pumpkins, leaves, and owls into early literacy, math, and fine motor practice. Children can trace paths, recognize letters, count pumpkin seeds, complete patterns, and explore the changes they notice outdoors.

I created this 120-page autumn collection so you can choose activities that suit your learners. Use a few pages during a fall theme, add them to small groups, or keep a selection ready for learning at home. The pack includes activities for preschool and Pre-K, with early reading and writing pages for children who are ready for more.

Preschool Fall Worksheets for Fine Motor and Pre-Writing Skills

Tracing paths, following a maze, and drawing around leaf outlines give children different ways to practice pencil control.

The pre-writing page includes several paths to follow. Children can trace each path with a finger before trying it with a crayon or pencil. The leaf tracing activity continues this practice with a larger outline to trace and color.

The apple and pumpkin mazes add a problem-solving task. Children look for a route through the maze, then follow it to the seeds in the center. Encourage them to slow down and look ahead as they work.

Fall Alphabet, Name Recognition, and Syllable Activities

Names are a familiar place to begin exploring letters. On the fall leaves name page, children find and color the leaves showing letters from their own names. Keep a name card nearby for children who need a model.

The alphabet tracing pages provide practice with uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and a matching word. Choose letters children are learning, then name the picture together before they begin tracing.

The syllable activity introduces another way to listen to autumn words. Say each picture name aloud, clap its syllables, and count the parts together. This supports phonological awareness while introducing words such as acorn, pumpkin, and sunflower.

Preschool fall worksheets for tracing uppercase and lowercase A, B, and C and the words apple, barn, and corn, with colored illustrations.

Preschool Fall Worksheets for Words and Early Reading

For children beginning to explore print, the “How Many Words?” page helps show that a sentence is made up of separate words. Read each sentence aloud and point to one word at a time. Then count the words together.

The pumpkin sight word pages provide tracing and word-finding practice. Select words you have already introduced and help children read them before completing the page.

The “Pumpkins” emergent reader brings these early reading experiences together in a small book. Color and black and white versions are included, along with a comprehension page. Read the book together, talk about the pictures, and return to the relevant page when answering a question.

Preschool Fall Worksheets for Counting and Graphing

The preschool fall worksheets include number practice from 1 to 10, pumpkin seed matching, and a count-and-graph activity.

Children trace numerals, count pictures, and explore quantities using ten frames. On the pumpkin seed pages, they count the seeds and glue the matching numeral into place. Encourage children to point to each seed once as they count.

The graphing page takes counting a step further. Children count each type of autumn picture and color the corresponding number of boxes. Afterward, compare the completed columns together. Which group has the most? Which has the fewest?

Preschool fall worksheets for tracing numbers 1, 2, and 3, with acorn ten frames and leaf counting activities.

Preschool pumpkin seed counting worksheet with four pumpkins containing 1–4 seeds and separate number cutouts to match each quantity.

Fall Math Activities for Shapes, Patterns, and Size

These activities give children practice noticing shapes, identifying repeating patterns, and comparing height.

The shape pages combine tracing with shape recognition. Name the shape together and talk about its features as children trace.

For the AB patterns, children look at the repeating pictures and choose the piece that comes next. Saying the pattern aloud can help: “leaf, acorn, leaf, acorn…”

The sunflower activity introduces ordering by height. Children cut out the strips and arrange them from shortest to tallest before gluing. Lining up the bottom edges makes it easier to compare the flowers.

Fall Visual Discrimination and Sequencing Worksheets

Looking closely helps children notice small differences and explain their choices.

On the “Which Is Different?” page, children compare pictures and find the one that looks different. The “What Doesn’t Belong?” activity asks them to consider which pictures belong together and identify the one that does not fit the group.

Invite children to explain what they noticed. A short conversation can reveal much more than a circled answer.

The sequencing pages introduce event order through eating an apple and raking leaves. Children arrange the pictures, then describe what happens using words such as first, next, and last.

Preschool fall visual discrimination worksheet with one different picture circled in each row of trees, leaves, scarecrows, and sunflowers.

Preschool fall categorization worksheet with four rows of seasonal pictures and the item that doesn’t belong circled in each row.

Fall Vocabulary, Positional Words, and Observation Activities

A fall theme also provides opportunities to describe locations, notice seasonal details, and share observations.

The prepositions page introduces words such as behind, in front, under, and on. Before completing it, try placing a familiar object in different positions and describing where it is.

Next, take the scavenger hunt outdoors. Children look for the pictured items and mark what they find. Talk about the colors, shapes, and textures they notice along the way.

The “My Senses in Autumn” page gives children a place to draw what they see, hear, touch, smell, and taste during the season. Use familiar experiences, such as hearing leaves crunch or tasting an apple, to begin the conversation.

Fall positional words worksheet with illustrated boxes labeled behind, in front, under, and on, with selected pictures colored.

Preschool Fall Owl Mobile Craft

The owl and leaves mobile combines coloring, cutting, hole-punching, and threading in one autumn craft.

Children color the owl and leaves, cut out the pieces, and use yarn to assemble the mobile. Offer help with hole-punching and tying as needed.

This activity gives children a reason to use both hands together while handling paper and yarn. The finished mobiles can also become part of an autumn display, with each child choosing their own leaf colors.

Easy Ways to Use These Preschool Fall Worksheets

Choose pages to match your learners and the skills you want to revisit. A short activity followed by a conversation can be enough for one session.

You might use the worksheets for:

Preschool or Pre-K small groups.
Seasonal literacy and math centers.
Morning work with familiar activities.
Fine motor practice.
Learning at home alongside autumn books and outdoor exploration.

Most pages need only pencils, crayons, scissors, and glue. The owl mobile also needs yarn and a hole punch. For repeated tracing practice, place selected pages in dry-erase sleeves.
